Soledad Beach, La Mora and Bahia El Aguacate

Playa Soledad is the first gem of this coastline, coming from Triganá toward Capurganá. Just after Acandí, this secluded corner appears, where you can truly feel a total disconnection. In 2009, it was the setting for a reality show, drawn by its untouched beauty. The water is crystal clear, shallow, and full of corals—ideal for snorkeling. Once underwater, you’ll see a multitude of colorful fish, rays, and even hawksbill turtles if you’re lucky.

Its white sand and surrounding mangroves create a unique landscape. Although it remains a remote spot, today it has electricity, a charming ecolodge, a small bar-restaurant, and even good 3G mobile signal. The feeling of isolation persists, but with just enough comfort to enjoy it worry-free.

You can reach Playa Soledad by boat from Triganá, Acandí, or Capurganá. There’s also a hiking route from Capurganá — a spectacular four-hour walk that crosses jungle paths, viewpoints, and small coves. The trail passes through the beautiful Bahía El Aguacate, another natural paradise along the coast. A perfect plan is to go by boat in the morning, have lunch by the sea, and return walking at an easy pace, stopping to swim or snorkel in the calm waters of El Aguacate.

Bahía El Aguacate is ideal for those looking for a more intimate and relaxed environment. Just ten minutes by small boat or a little over an hour on foot from Capurganá, it offers emerald-colored waters full of corals and marine life. There are also small family-run lodges and restaurants that preserve the simple and welcoming spirit of local life.

A little further north, following the same coastline, lies Playa La Mora, an even lesser-known gem of the Caribbean Chocó. Surrounded by tropical vegetation, this beach offers a peaceful atmosphere with light sands, scattered palm trees, and the constant sound of the sea. In its surroundings, nature remains untouched: during certain times of the year, it’s possible to witness sea turtles coming to nest on the nearby beaches of La Playona.
